In this episode of Let’s Try This Again, I sit down with my real-life friend and creative powerhouse, Kway—aka BlameItOnKway—who shares his incredible journey from viral comedy to serial entrepreneur, and now, full-on restaurant owner with Smack’Em! We go beyond the laughs and viral moments, opening up about what it means to be a private artist in a world obsessed with sharing, how pivots into new passions can reignite purpose, and why having the right people in your corner makes all the difference. From the anxiety of reinventing yourself after massive public success, to learning how to silence comparison and honor the process (even when the crowd gets loud), this conversation is full of honest gems about creative evolution, collaboration, and the power of betting on yourself. Plus, we celebrate the value of focusing on your lane, what “going with God” in business and life really looks like, and how supporting your friends can transform the whole journey.
